Thanks for participating in the workshop

Look at all the final projects here.

I will put links to some of the projects on the Friday page.

If you have an Arduino kit, at the moment we plan to do the zoetrope project on Wednesday afternoon.  To do it, you would need a plastic lid around 4 1/2 inches in diameter and one or two templates printed out from this website https://www.instructables.com/id/Make-a-Zoetrope-21.  Feel free to assemble on the plastic lid (not on a CD) as described on the website.  The result should look something like this:


Announcing Arduino Workshop for Middle School Students

June 29-July 3, 2020

Workshop description:  An introduction to Arduino programming and interfacing. Participants will learn hardware interfacing (connecting pins of the Arduino to buttons, indicators (LEDS) and sensors (thermistors), Arduino programming, and some electronics. The course can be done with a real Arduino kit or with the Tinkercad Circuits simulator.  For students entering 7th-9th grade.

Workshop will be presented online via zoom with two meetings per day.  Participants will learn basics of circuits, Arduino programming, and hardware interfacing and will conclude with an original project.

Please click here to register for the program.  (Registration is now closed) 

Participants will be exposed to engineering in a low-key, fun and creative way!
